yes, that might be an approach, just use venti...but what I'd like to do is use 
the last fossil dump.
my machine is unbootable at the moment, since /bin and some other stuff have 
been wiped off the harddisk.
There actually has been no filesystem damage. This can only be the cause of my 
braindamage.

What i think i need to do is:
boot from livecd
get venti running somehow
get fossil running with venti somehow
revert fossil to the last dump
reboot

I am trying to find out how to do the venti and fossil steps...
Of course, if i'm wrong, please enlighten me, as i am still quite ignorant of 
the inner workings of the system, fossil and venti.

Thanks, though.
